I’ve been out of the blog talk life for a minute. It’s been a busy and trying 2 years but I’m going to ease my way back into my blog talk radio spot. This Stella really needs to get her groove back. Take a listen and talk to me.
A police officer has never been acquitted in this country for killing a black man, correct me if I’m wrong. And the way the defense is trying to justify Floyd’s murder is purely deceiving and politics at its best.
The trial of Derek Chauvin continued Wednesday with the defense’s medical expert testifying that the former officer kneeling on George Floyd’s neck did not play a critical role in the 46-year-old’s death last May. David Fowler, a former Maryland chief medical examiner, testified that “all of Floyd’s injuries were in areas that Chauvin’s knee did not press on.”
This statement is laughable, when the video speaks otherwise. Witnesses present that day and for all who continue to see that video around the world, can’t undo seeing Floyd murdered before our very eyes. The anger and outrage still lingers.
So what happens if Chauvin is acquitted? This is tonight’s question of topic on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Intense grief can alter the heart muscle so much that it causes “broken heart syndrome,” a form of heart disease with the same symptoms as a heart attack. Stress links the emotional and physical aspects of grief. You may go over the death multiple times in your mind, wondering if there was something you could have done differently, or some way you could have prevented the inevitable. The bargaining phase goes hand in hand with guilt, and this can be the most difficult aspect of grief for many of us.
Throughout life, we experience many instances of grief. Grief can be caused by situations, relationships, or even substance abuse. Children may grieve a divorce, a wife may grieve the death of her husband, a teenager might grieve the ending of a relationship, or you might have received terminal medical news and are grieving your pending death. there are five stages of grief and they include: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
